Michael Theo

Michael's arrival in our lives

Picture
Written in March, 2010 (3 years old):  Born on 11/16/2006 to Susan and Dan.  Michael is the fifth child in the family and is absolutely adored by his four older siblings and now younger sister too.  Michael and his family live in Greenwich and Michael started preschool at CosCob in the fall.  He loves it and they thoroughly enjoy him.  He has a wonderful time animating any stuffed or plastic animal that he finds and is totally in his element at the playground.  Although Michael doesn't say many words yet, he knows lots of sign language (loves Signing Time)and I discovered he has been busy teaching his baby sister it, by signing on her.  The cutest is when he signs "I like" on her.

Growing Up

Picture
Oct 2010:  In April at 3 1/2 Michael moved out of his crib and diapers and into a big boy bed and underpants.  Here he is keeping busy trying to walk two dogs from the Guiding Eyes for the Blind.  He also enjoys driving the boat.

April 2013

 Michael is now 6 and attends kindergarten.  He enjoys playing with our new dog, Meryl.  He also likes to pretend he is in Scooby Doo and bats are chasing him.  This winter he played in the snow and went sledding a lot.  Another thing that he enjoys is riding his tricycle in the basement.

Michael thoroughly enjoyed dressing up for Halloween.  His siblings loved combining costumes to get it just right for him.  A cow with a cape.  Who knew?
